Transpanner 2 is a free 3D audio plugin designed specifically for stereo loudspeakers, offering an advanced spatial audio experience. This new version goes beyond a typical update by redefining spatial audio tools and setting a high standard in this category. It supports macOS (Intel, M1, M2) with AU and VST3 formats, as well as Windows 10 and newer with VST3 format, making it compatible with most popular digital audio workstations.

The plugin features a unique polar pad interface with concentric circles that respond dynamically as you move the virtual thumb. This intuitive control allows precise placement of sounds at any angle from 0 to 360 degrees and adjusts their perceived distance by moving the thumb closer or farther from the center. This tactile approach enhances stereo mixing by delivering an immersive three-dimensional soundscape from a simple stereo setup.

Transpanner 2 uses psychoacoustic principles to create a convincing 3D audio illusion, tricking the brain into perceiving sounds as originating from different directions, including behind the listener. Improvements include a cleaner audio engine with click-free performance during rapid movements and fixes for variable buffer issues in certain DAWs. The plugin is license-free and donation-supported, encouraging users to contribute based on the value they receive while enjoying hassle-free access to powerful spatial audio capabilities.
